Question
1. Has your local authority held, or does it plan to hold, a Christmas lights switch-on or similar event in October, November or December 2025? If no, then no further questions apply and, to save you time, a response simply stating "No" will suffice. If yes, then please confirm the following: 2. Who performed (or will perform) the switch-on and/or who performed (or will perform) at the event? 3. Were they (or will they be) paid a fee to do so? If so, how much were they paid (or will they be paid)? If more than one person was involved, please provide a breakdown. 4. Were (or will) any expenses be paid, either in addition to any fee or instead of a fee? If so, please provide a breakdown of these. For the avoidance of doubt, this FOI enquiry is about Christmas lights switch-on events in the run-up to Christmas 2025.
Answer
Unfortunately, we do not hold the information you have requested as the Christmas Lights switch on is run by the Business Improvement District (BID). To confirm the BID is not subject to the Freedom of Information Act 2000 as it is not a listed organisation in accordance with Schedule 1.
